The Dichotomy of Distance
This remarkable piece of "found audio" provides deconstructionist theorists with a nearly perfect example of the inherent instability of textual conditioning as exemplified by what I have termed "the dichotomy of distance," a modality established between two connected yet DISconnected figures whose statements to one another form a helix of conjectural meaning based entirely on the interplay of one figure's textual standards with the other's. Interested readers will find my extensive study of this intriguing metasocial construct, "The Dichotomy of Distance and the Problem of the Gasoline-Squirting Dildo" in this quarter's Publications of the Modern Language Association (Summer 2009).
